Bird Behavior

A female Cockatiel will start to lay eggs from 5-6 months of age, and can continue laying eggs until about 10 years of age.

The nightingale yearns to be free. The will to live perishes in captivity.

My bird is 13 months and is always in a moult. Get their wings clipped and never leave them on their own because they get scared and moody

animals will migrate in winter to go south to warmer regions.

to keep him from flying away? do you mean one of those identification bands?that is so if the bird get's lost it can be found

No, they have to be kept warm to hatch.

You have to remember that parrots have about the emotional maturity of a five year old. If their environment is stressful (i.e., cats stalk them or people rattle their cages) then they will start to scream. Parrots crave attention, and if they discover that screaming makes you run in and yell at them to stop, they will enjoy the attention and do it more. Spend a lot of quiet time with your bird, watch TV with them or do your homework with them haning out with you, I guarentee the screaming will be reduced.

The bird is not addicted to bunny feet. I'm assuming that you have at least one bird and at least one rabbit. The bird has learned to go after the feet of the rabbit for some reason. This is a matter of simple training or conditioning; it has nothing to do with addiction.

A squawk.

it does not make any difference

Cause they what to be together.

ask the breeder or person who sold it to you

A tennis raquet is very good.

If for some reason your bird's testosterone level drops, he will sing less frequently or ... with certain kinds of finches such as society or zebra finches.

They'll eat pretty much anything we do (except chocolate, avacados, and a few other foods that are harmful) Monk Parakeets are supposed to be a diet high in pellets and fresh fruit and vegetables.

This is a rare breed of bird and not much is known about it, but I'm guessing it's about the same as an Indian Ring-neck Parakeet, which is about 25 years or more, but not too much more.

Try to arrange to keep the wreath as quiet as possible. If it's on your door, you could put a notice on your gate asking visitors to use another entrance.

Cocketeils are very fast learners. They can pick up songs, as long as you teach them alot. I have some, I taught my birds to sing with in 2 weeks. I did 15 minutes everyday. They can pick up songs really quick. As long as its not to hard!

a hand raised budgie is a budgie that has either been taken away from it's parents at a very early age, or a neglected baby that will die if humans don't step in. it is hand fed and handled a lot, and it grow up trusting humans and are known to be very tame. if you can, it is best to get a hand raised budgie if you only want one and want it to be very cuddly and tame. you can still get one from a pet store, it will just take longer to get used to you.

Secretary birds are usually silent, but when displaying they will make a horse croaking sound, similar to wood being dragged over a wash board. They can occasionally be hear making mewing sounds at night.

Parakeets are sexually mature around 6 months of age, but at that point the females are about as prepared to raise young as a thirteen-year-old human girl is of raising a child. The females need to be at least 12 months old to safely rear young because at this age they are finished growing and are better equipped to handle the stresses of raising chicks. Males, however, can be between the ages of 6-8 months and breed without stunting growth, although fertility may not be as good as with a fully grown male.

if you have more than one

yes! they are patient, cute, easy to care for, but a bit stubborn

Budgies which are getting close to laying an egg become more lively, excitable and playful. If they have a nesting box, they will spend a lot more time in the box, preparing it for nesting, and possibly being very protective of that area. If there is a male, he may start feeding the female.

Budgies look the same when they are laying eggs as when they aren't. In other words, birds don't "hold" their eggs inside their bodies and show a big belly to indicate that eggs are on the way. The egg shell is the last thing that develops right before the egg is laid, therefore, a hen doesn't "show" in the sense that human women "show" when they are pregnant.

Swelling in the abdominal area could also mean the parrot is egg-bound, though this tends to present more as swelling near the bird's tail, near the cloacae. She will be distressed and show signs of constipation, be reluctant to move and "waddle" like a penguin. If your bird shows signs of being egg-bound, she must be taken to the vet as soon as possible, as this can be a life-threatening condition.

yes they can
